The storm of the economic crises continues to rain heavily on law firms across the country. Layoffs, delayed start dates for new associates, furloughs for current associates. Many law firm associates have turned to the nonprofit world for opportunities to do pro bono work until the clouds pass. For many local and international NGOs, the interest in pro bono work has been overwhelming. What are the challenges associated with preparing attorneys for international non-profit assignments? Are these opportunities being offered to a diverse pool of attorneys or a select few? What is the competitive impact on established non-profit lawyers? How will NGOs cope with the end to this "boom" in available talent when the economy turns around? How will this affect attorney career development, and what are the challenges associated with reintegrating? This program will examine these questions and the broader ramifications of the economic crisis on the legal profession.
